It’s honestly hard to believe anyone other than Chris Hemsworth playing The God of Thunder. For the better part of a decade, the actor has hefted the hammer, and really made the role his own; Thor: Ragnarok being the payoff for all of that hard work, if all of the reviews are to be believed. […]

Director Taika Waititi doesn’t see himself taking on a Star Wars film, prefers Marvel
Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok is receiving critical raves far ahead of its release.
